Summer Transfers 2012: Winners & Losers
With the closure of the summer window, ESPNSTAR.com takes a look at the transfer dealings, or lack thereof, conducted by various clubs.
By Alison ChinFollow @@AlisonChin9
The importance of squad strengthening in the off-season can never be underestimated. While some teams can boast a good track record with regards to their buys, others have been less fortunate and struggled when their marquee signings proved to be expensive duds.
Here are a handful of clubs across Europe which ESPNSTAR.com expects to be very satisfied with their purchases come the end of the season.
To many, the loss of Robin van Persie and Alex Song would immediately guarantee Arsenal a place on the list of 'Losers'. However, manager Arsene Wenger's foresight, combined with his keen eye for football talent has ensured the Dutchman is unlikely to be too sorely missed. The club entered the transfer market early this summer, snapping up Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla.
Giroud, a former Ligue 1 top scorer, is yet to open his scoring account for the Gunners, but should be encouraged by the start his new strike partner Podolski has made. The German got off the mark marvellously against Liverpool recently, and this new Arsenal striking duo should clamber their way up the scoring charts soon.
One of the reasons why the pair should feel optimistic is because of the service they are likely to receive from fellow Arsenal new boy Cazorla.
Cazorla's move to England from Spain ignited a frenzy of excitement from Arsenal supporters, and one can hardly blame them. The former Malaga man is blessed with technical excellence and vision, allowing him to shoulder playmaking responsibilities with ease.
Many of the goals the Gunners will score in the new campaign will likely involve the Spaniard in some shape or form.
However, for all the excitement generated on the pitch, it could be a member of the club's technical staff that proves the difference this season. The appointment of Steve Bould in place of the long-serving Pat Rice has already paid dividends for Wenger's squad in the form of three consecutive shut-outs, making them the only team with a clean goals against record in the campaign so far. Arsenal were more often than not forced to come from behind last season, and this marked improvement in defensive discipline instilled by Bould should ensure the team now have a strong backline from which to build success on.
Pushed by the loss of their long-serving star striker Didier Drogba, the Champions League winners went on the offensive, both literally and figuratively. Manager Roberto Di Matteo has brought in six players in the summer – five of whom are attack-minded.
The Blues' initial foray into the transfer market was modest enough, completing a deal for Marko Marin – a player dubbed the German Lionel Messi. In need of a new challenge, Marin has it all to do to prove that he can live up to his moniker after his big Premier League move.
Another Chelsea summer signing who has arrived with big expectations is Eden Hazard. Early signs for the player, which owner Roman Abramovich shelled out £32 million for, is very positive. They appear to point out that Hazard might just be worth every penny of his inflated transfer fee as the former Ligue 1 Player of the Year has been ripping defences apart so far.
Oscar's move to Stamford Bridge may not have been given as much media coverage as Hazard, but the Brazilian's displays at London 2012 have left Blues fans equally eager to watch him in a Chelsea kit. A classy playmaker unafraid of holding on to the ball under pressure, Oscar's incisive passes into space will surely benefit Chelsea striker Fernando Torres this season.
Despite the expensive assembly of a very exciting looking Chelsea side, the Blues appear light in the striking department. While calling upon Daniel Sturridge from the bench may be good enough for some, Di Matteo might rue missing out on the likes of Falcao in the summer transfer window should Torres suffer an injury.
Manchester United
As is always the case with Manchester United, there were several big name players linked with a move to Sir Alex Ferguson's squad. The Scot decided to swoop for four names this summer, finding the right mix of quantity and quality in his new buys.
While Eden Hazard's move to Chelsea generated plenty of headlines, the deal might not translate into as many goals for the Blues as a certain Robin van Persie could register for the Red Devils this season. It was a lack of goals compared to eventual winners Manchester City which burst United's title dreams last season, and Ferguson's move for the Dutchman is a clear indication that he has no intention of letting the situation repeat itself.
As capable as the club's strike-force may be, they will be reliant on service from midfield, hence the swoop for playmaker Shinji Kagawa. Blessed with nimble footwork and creativity, Kagawa can carve open opposition defences with ease.
Keeping up his tradition of blooding in youngsters, Ferguson also purchased 18-year old Nick Powell, who was Crewe Alexandra's top scorer in the previous campaign. The lack of cover for the aging Patrice Evra was dealt with by the Scot's move for pacey attacking left-back Alexander Buttner.
In what has been a summer of change at White Hart Lane, Tottenham have integrated fresh faces at the helm and in the squad's ranks. Despite the loss of talismanic playmaker Luka Modric and fan favourite Rafael van der Vaart, along with surplus-to-requirement players like Steven Pienaar and Niko Kranjcar, chairman Daniel Levy managed to cobble together sufficient funds to bring in several exciting new signings to herald the start Andre Villas-Boas' era at the club.
The Portuguese failed spectacularly while trying to implement his preferred style at Chelsea because he lacked appropriate players to carry out the fast-paced football he craved. However, with the newly acquired talents of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Moussa Dembele, playing alongside Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon, Villas-Boas has put together an attacking force that most Premier League defences will face trouble keeping up with. The last minute swoop for Clint Dempsey also delighted Spurs supporters, and the American's £6 million price tag might turn out to be a bargain if he can reproduce last season's 23 goal haul.
There is fresh blood to boast of in the rear end of the Spurs starting eleven, with the arrival of the highly-rated Jan Vertonghen easing the loss of former captain Ledley King. The Belgian appears determined to succeed in a Tottenham jersey, which would surely delight the new man between the posts, Hugo Lloris. The former Olympique Lyon custodian is renowned for his lightning reflexes and is set to displace the dependable Brad Friedel in due time.
Despite the optimism generated from Villas-Boas' recent spending spree, Spurs have not gotten off to the best of starts in this campaign. The Tottenham boss must make full use of the upcoming international break to rectify a string of sloppy performances and find a way to bring out the best from his new signings, as the club can ill afford for their winless run to continue.
AC Milan
The fact that AC Milan have signed five established players to bolster their squad should warrant them a place in the Winners list for this summary. Unfortunately for the Rossoneri, their summer signings lack the quality to replace departed stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Antonio Cassano.
Italian duo Riccardo Montolivo and Giampaolo Pazzini bring with them vital Serie A experience, while manager Massimiliano Allegri will turn to Nigel De Jong to carry on where Dutch compatriot Mark van Bommel has left off. However, the loss of top scorer Ibrahimovic and the excellent Thiago Silva in defence leaves Allegri's squad severely lacking in game-changing players, an aspect that has not been relieved by the relatively mundane signings the club has made.
Scarred by the excessive spending of former manager Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool went into this summer's transfer window focused solely on buying players Brendan Rodgers was confident could carry out his desired pass-and-move style. Anfield favourites like Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt moved on, while players like Andy Carroll (loan) and Charlie Adam were also promptly shipped out.
In place of them came Fabio Borini and Joe Allen as well as Nuri Sahin (loan). The trio are not bad signings to say the least. However, while Allen was the team's unsung hero in their draw against Premier League champions Manchester City and Borini's raw talent has elicited much excitement from supporters, Liverpool concluded the transfer window in a hugely disappointing manner.
By Rodgers' own admission, the club were foolish to approve Carroll's loan departure to West Ham without first securing a reliable replacement. Reds fans were convinced the team would snap up Dempsey, only to be left utterly frustrated on the final day of the window. The former Fulham man appeared to have his heart set on donning the Liverpool kit, yet the transfer never came to pass.
Liverpool would have benefitted tremendously from having a goal-getter to ease this burden on Luis Suarez, and Dempsey's goal-scoring heroics last season suggested he could have been the right man for them. If the manner in which they stuttered in front of the goal against Arsenal is anything to go by, the first half of this campaign could prove to be nervous one for the team's supporters.
The La Liga side finished in a respectable fourth place last season, but the club should thank their lucky stars if they manage to retain a similar position at the end of this campaign. Wayward ownership by Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al-Thani has left Malaga heavily in debt, forcing management to sell away key players such as Santi Cazorla, Salomon Rondon and Joris Mathijsen.
Excluding the ranks of Real Madrid and Barcelona, Cazorla was widely considered as the most talented player in La Liga. The shoes of their former playmaker will be much too large for any of the remaining Malaga players to fill, and the retirement of Ruud van Nistelrooy means manager Manuel Pellegrini can no longer call upon the experienced Dutchman from the bench when the chips are down. Rondon was a promising striking prospect, but after being owed months of salary, he hightailed out of the club for Rubin Kazan.
Retaining the services of one-time Red Devils target Isco and veteran midfielder Jeremy Toulalan was perhaps Malaga's only saving grace, while fans are hoping that new signings Javier Saviola and Roque Santa Cruz (loan) manage to contribute despite being in the twilight of their careers.
Queens Park Rangers
To say that Queens Park Rangers recruited heavily would be an understatement. After avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, Mark Hughes purchased a total of 13 players, including established names like former Manchester United utility man Park Ji Sung, the Champions League winning duo of Jose Bosingwa and Julio Cesar, and La Liga winner Esteban Granero (signed on the second-last day of the window).
However, in a summer where most of their rivals chose to invest in youth, the London side have brought in six players over the age of 30. If Hughes manages to get all of these experienced names to work together, success on the pitch would naturally follow. Yet, it remains a huge risk for the club to take as failure would leave the club with an exorbitant wage bill that could potentially sink the club.
Unlike Swansea or Everton, the contributions of QPR's new recruits have only translated to a single league point so far. Hughes must pray that his short-term gamble pays off, or it will be another nail-biting finish to this campaign.

Unburying the Past: A New York Gubernatorial Portrait from the Civil War
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
5:30 pm
Join us for a lecture by Ginia Sweeney, this year's Judith M. Lenett Fellow and a second-year graduate student in the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art. For her year-long Lenett project, Ginia has conserved a Civil War-era portrait of former New York State Governor Edwin D. Morgan, attributed to Asa W. Twitchell (1820-1904). Ginia will share the results of her conservation and art historical research. Is stripping grime off a painted surface the equivalent of erasing years of history? What does it mean that so many paintings like this one are languishing in storage, unseen? And what, if anything, do we owe to such objects?

Does anyone have a good protein to add to oatmeal? I really love eating oatmeal in the morning. I added egg whites this morning (I read that some people do that on BFL) and I couldn't choke it down. Any suggestions? Thanks and good luck to all!
I think any vanilla protein powder would work. I have used Jay Robb egg white protein powder and it tastes great. Just make sure you stir the protein into the oatmeal really well before you add your hot water/milk; that way it doesn't get lumpy.
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Dymatize Nutrition makes Elite High -Protein Oatmeal, 36 grams of protein per packet
Did you try eating the egg whites separately or did you mix it in with the oatmeal? I am not a huge egg fan but have managed to eat 3-4 whites at a time on the side with a cup of oatmeal.
The vanilla protein powder idea would definitely work, and you could add a bit of fresh fruit to make it more like berries and cream.
Other proteins I like for breakfast that would match well with oatmeal are quickly sauteed tofu chunks or lean ham, served on the side.
Good luck Kathy!
I add a scoop of whey protein to my oatmeal. There is actually a power oatmeal recipe in the recipe section and another one for pumpkin oatmeal. Check it out!
Throw in a can of tuna?
I've been adding a few pieces of natural walnuts to my maple flavored weight control oatmeal each of the 5 mornings that I have it during the workweek. It seems to help with the flavor and possibly the protein as well.
I go with plain oatmeal as a my 10 AM Snack... LOVE IT!!
I usually have my eggs on the side! I have added vanilla whey to my oatmeal and it was okay! I added it when it was done cooking and just stirred it in. No lumps!
LOL...Tuna?...ahhhh! now that's bad ;p
Ok, I know this sounds gross but I saw it on one of the BFL recipes years ago and tried it. Cottage cheese in the oatmeal. Yes it sounds gross, but I LOVE it! I even eat it when I'm not following any specific diet or nutrition plan because it is that good. I especially like it with walnuts and cinnamon and I use Truvia (a nutural calorie free sweetner). Try it, you might like it even though it sounds disgusting. I'm glad I tried it!
Cottage cheese in "cooked oatmeal"?
Thanks for the responses. I'll pass on the tuna :) but might try the cottage cheese. Any and all food suggestions are appreciated. Keep them coming!
Yes, I cook the oatmeal then add the cottage cheese. I like to make it with half a portion of oatmeal and half a portion of frozen blueberries that have been heated first (so the cottage cheese doesn't cool the whole thing off to much when it is added). Yummy!
I add ANY flavor of whey protein to mine. For instance, tomorrow I'm trying 'cookies and cream' flavor with my packet. It doesn't have to just be confined to vanilla.

It started with an idea to revolutionize embroidered shirts.
In 2009 brothers, Brian and Scott Roberts, had a tough decision to make. They could re-build the family's embroidered shirts business after the loss of their father, in the midst of economic uncertainty, or find another career path.
Unbeknownst to the brothers, an informal lunch at their favorite delicatessen would present the answer. Unsure of what to order, Brian asked the waiter if the pastrami special was any good. The waiter (who was ironically wearing an embroidered shirt) smiled and simply pointed to a picture on the wall. Above their booth hung a Godfather movie poster, which touted the deli's incredible best-selling pastrami sandwich. It read, "I'm gonna make them a pastrami sandwich they can't refuse." That's it! Scott pronounced, "We'll take two pastrami sandwiches and some more napkins!" Scott began scribbling on the napkins. "Let's not abandon what our father built and what we're great at, but rather re-work it to make embroidered shirts new, fun and exciting. Let's give the world custom embroidered shirts like they've never had before!"
It was at that moment LogoUp.com was born; revolutionizing embroidered shirts one polo shirt at a time.
Over the next year the brothers were busy. Brian handled the merchandising; sourcing vendors to supply the embroidered shirts and other apparel for the site. Scott handled the creative; incorporating a super hero theme, giving the embroidered shirts and other logo products unique personality.
Finally, on April 13, 2010 the Brian and Scott's embroidered shirts website was online. The brothers set themselves apart by keeping overhead low, doing as much of embroidered shirt production themselves, and not hiring any outside staff. The first few months were undeniably difficult. However, the brothers were patient and continued to refine the website using customer feedback.
Today, LogoUp.com operates out of a state of the art 50,000 sq. ft. facility in sunny Pompano Beach, Florida. Over 90 dedicated team members support the approximately 20,000 (and growing) incredible businesses and organizations that use LogoUp's embroidered shirts and other custom logo apparel.
The brothers believe that their unrelenting obsession with quality (in an industry where cutting corners is commonplace) has helped them make their mark in the embroidered shirts business. The simple yet often overlooked attention to detail that the brothers demand may seem extreme to competitors yet is really the secret ingredient (or secret superpower) that the brothers have employed in the sale of awesomely incredible embroidered shirts.
Only professionally trained graphic designers (official job title: logo superheroes) setup logos using the latest custom designed embroidered shirt software art programs. Even, embroidery technicians who produce the company's embroidered shirts must have at least 5 years of experience and pass quarterly re-certification exams. By the way, the thread use in the sewing of LogoUp's embroidered shirts is imported German rayon thread.
Brian and Scott are proud of their perseverance (and incredible staff) and continue to build upon their dream "one awesome embroidered shirt at a time."

We know it's the most wonderful time of the year, but between handsy co-workers at the office party and your sister's new BF slurping gravy at dinner, it's also the most awkward.
Our token male editor/advice dispenser, Dan, is here to help. This year, he's tackled holiday-related situations aplenty: Is it a turnoff to have seven gifts under your tree for your dog (above)? Is it creepy to hang mistletoe in every doorway? Should you buy a present for the guy you just started dating? And what do you do if you hate the gift from your boyfriend?
If none of these apply, Dan's got evergreen words of wisdom on everything from great third-date scenarios to Spanx. His advice on postdate texting proved especially useful.
We expect the demand for WWDD bracelets to soar.

Logitech Wireless All-in-One Keyboard TK820
Type and swipe comfortably together
A new way to navigate
Everything you need to control and navigate your computer is integrated in one device. The keyboard has a built in touchpad so you can type, touch and swipe in one. It's a new and innovative way to navigate.
More room to point and swipe
The touch area is larger than a laptop touchpad so you have more room to point, zoom and swipe. In fact, you can perform up to 13 unique Windows 8 gestures* comfortably and smoothly.
* Download Logitech SetPoint for the full range of multi-touch gestures.
Designed to save space
The wireless, ultra-slim design keeps your desk cable- and clutter-free. The integrated touchpad also means you won't need a separate mouse.
One keyboard for typing, touch and gestures.
Keyboard with built-in touch pad
Type and swipe in one. Start typing on the keyboard and then switch to pointing, zooming and swiping on the touchpad. The keyboard and touchpad are seamlessly integrated, so switching between them is smooth and effortless. Even the angle of the All-in-One keyboard is designed to make typing and swiping better together.
Large touch area with integrated click
The large touchpad gives your fingers plenty of room to perform multi-touch gestures* like pinch, zoom or swipe. It also allows you to control your cursor more precisely. There are no external buttons. Instead, the entire touchpad surface is a button. To left click, tap or click in the middle of the touchpad. To right click, tap or click in the lower-right corner of the touchpad.
*Logitech SetPoint software required.
Wireless, space-saving design
The All-in-One keyboard has an ultra-slim design that takes up less space on your desk. It connects wirelessly to your computer, so you don't have to worry about cables getting in the way. The integrated touchpad allows you to navigate the cursor, click and gesture, so you won't need an external mouse.
Unifying receiver with Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless
Type with the keyboard in front of your computer or even on your lap. A tiny Unifying receiver wirelessly connects the keyboard to your computer—just plug it in and start typing and swiping. The connection is robust and reliable, so you can place the keyboard in the most convenient position for you, and still enjoy fast data transmission with virtually no delays or dropouts.
PerfectStroke™ key system
Logitech PerfectStroke key system distributes typing pressure evenly across the key surfaces. Every keystroke feels smooth and whisper-quiet—even if you strike the edge of a key.
Incurve™ keys
Logitech Incurve™ keys match the natural profile of your fingertips. Each concave key surface has softly rounded edges to help your fingers glide across the keyboard. Typing feels fluid and comfortable, hour after hour.
Full range of multi-touch gestures
The touchpad supports 13 unique Windows 8 gestures.* Use edge gestures to switch apps and bring up the Charms Bar, or use a three-finger swipe to return to the Start Screen. The touchpad also works well for basic actions like point, scroll or click.
*Logitech SetPoint software required.
Customizable software and hot keys
Personalize your experience. Logitech SetPoint™ software lets you customize the settings of the keyboard and touchpad to make typing and swiping more tailored to you.
6-month battery life*
Type and swipe for up to 6 months on a full charge. An indicator light tells you when it's time to change batteries, and an on/off switch helps you save power when the All-in-One keyboard is not in use.
*Keyboard battery life based on an estimated 2 million keystrokes per year in an office environment. User experience may vary.
PerfectStroke key system. Your typing experience made near perfect.
Tapping into your needs
Clickety-clack. Remember that sound? The old electric typewriter. If you are old enough to remember, it isn't just the clickety-clack that you probably miss so much. Rather, it's the way the keys felt under your fingers.
The perfect blend
Traditional computer keyboards and laptop keyboards each have their benefits. Stand-alone keyboards generally use keys with longer, more comfortable key travel. Notebook keyboards have shorter key travel, but use a scissor-key mechanism that makes the response faster, compared to standard keyboards.
Smooth moves
You don't strike the keys perfectly every time. Sometimes, you might just catch the edge of a key. With PerfectStoke, you won't feel the difference. Precision micro-scissors distribute force evenly across key surfaces so every keystroke you make is natural and fluid - even the imperfect ones.
Travel in comfort
With a typical notebook keyboard, your fingers have to travel 2.2 mm to activate a key. Most desktop keyboards, on the other hand, have a much more comfortable key travel of 3.5 mm to 4 mm. We gave our PerfectStroke keyboards a 3.2 mm key travel - so you can enjoy silent, responsive typing that's comfortable too.

Breckenridge leaders are preparing for potential floodingBreckenridge, MN (WDAY TV) -- City leaders in Breckenridge are making sure the city is prepared for any potential flooding.
Breckenridge, MN (WDAY TV) -- City leaders in Breckenridge are making sure the city is prepared for any potential flooding.
The city is protected up to 3 feet above the flood of 97 and has 10 thousand sandbags on hand if needed.
Cliff: "At this point we are in good shape."
All the flood walls and levees in the city are in place to combat any potential flooding. What worries Mayor Cliff Barth is the potential of a late thaw because if that's the case it could include rain.
Cliff: "Monitor our lift stations, monitor our pumping stations that pump the storm sewer water into the river if we have to close the gates, so it is all monitoring, which is a really good feeling to have."
There could be some street flooding because of the amount of snow on the ground around the city, but the city is prepared.
Cliff: "One street, Main street they call it where we put in a closure system where you stick in the wall panels for this closure, that might have to be put in, depending on the elevation that comes in. It's around 14 to 15 feet."
There's a bigger threat for flooding in the County. Right now along highway 210 there is more snow in the ditches then County Enigineers are comfortable with.
Tom: "In general across our county there about five inches of water of snow, we usually figure anything over 3 and a half and 4 inches is going to cause some overland flooding."
There are three small towns that are the most concerning.
Tom: "The City of Foxhome, the city of Doran, and the city of Wolverton."
To prepare, crews have been busy clearing the nearly 200 miles of ditches and culverts in the county.
Tom: A lot of work has been done on them over the last several years, and almost none of them have been tested yet, so we'll see what affect that has. i think it's going to be beneficial to the county.
Cliff Barth/Mayor of Breckenridge: "The later it gets, and if we get rain with it just like we did in 1997, then that's the bad part."
Officials will hold meetings as the spring melt approaches to stay on top of things.

New WB Mason Cost Saving Feature
Swap and $ave
As one of 2012 cost savings initiatives, the Purchasing Department is pleased to announce a new feature called "Swap and Save", which will be added to WB Mason's web ordering system, effective Monday, September 5, 2011.
After you add items to your "cart", the Swap and $ave feature will display a lower cost alternative when you click on the "Checkout" button. The screen will show you what you could save on each item and a grand total of your savings potential. It is important for you to know that all lower cost items are of equal quality but provide greater cost savings.
It is projected based upon the Dartmouth's past purchasing history with WB Mason, that the campus has the potential to avoid $100,000 annually, if alternative lower priced items are purchased.
To assist in navigating the Swap and $ave, please refer the Instructions and Screen Shots.
The feature will also have the capability of providing reports on cost savings (or lost savings) by person by department. Reports will be run minimally on a quarterly basis to benchmark our success as a campus. The reports will include cost savings as well as lost cost savings opportunities when an alternative was not selected. These reports will be provided to the Dean's, Department Leaders, Provost and the Chancellor.
We strongly encourage the selection of all lower cost alternative items.
Please contact Holly Fern if you have any questions, comments or concerns. Your feedback is very important.

Jewelry Findings 101
Material List
Project Instructions
A. Head Pins: A straight piece of wire with a flat or decorative end that will keep the beads from sliding off. Slide beads onto the head pin and form a wrapped or simple loop. Connect the dangles to make earrings, necklace or bracelet. Head pins come in different lengths and gauges.
B. Eye Pins: Similar to a head pin but having a loop end. Slide beads onto the head pin and form a wrapped or simple loop. Eye pins can be connected to another eye pin, or finding. Eye pins come in different lengths and gauges.
C. Crimp Beads and Tubes: A small tube or round bead that is used to secure stringing and beading wire that does not knot. A crimping tool is used to flatten the crimp bead and tube.
D. Jump Rings: Small rings that are used to attach elements. Jump rings come in many sizes, usually from 4 to10 mm.
E. Closures/Clasps: Come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from lobster claw, spring ring, hook and eye, toggle clasp and box clasp. They are used to join the ends of a necklace or bracelet.
F. Cording End: A cap that finishes off the ends of a variety of stringing materials. Leather or fabric.
G. Spacer Beads: Small decorative metal beads to place in between the bead elements of your jewelry design.
H. Earring Findings: Come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Create matching earrings for your jewelry designs. Kidney shape wire, lever back wires, French wires and beading hoops.
Tip and Techniques:
Crimp Bead Tips
1. To make sure there is enough room so that a jump ring or closure can move freely about in the crimped loop, inset the end of the round nose pliers into the loop before pulling the wire tightly and crimping.
2. For a clean and neat finish to your necklace, use a crimp cover to conceal the crimped bead.
3. Crimping pliers are essential to use for a successful crimp.
Head Pin Tips
1. If the end of the head pin is too small for the hole in the bead, place a small seed bead on the head pin first, to keep it from slicing through your bead.
2. Use beads with a head pin to create beautiful dangles.
Jump Ring Tips
1. Open a jump ring with two pliers, using a twisting motion. Never pull the jump ring apart to open.
2. If using thin jump rings to attach heavier components, use two for added security.

Hertzberg writes of that passage:
By the time that long-obscure, lately apposite sentence became part of the Constitution, on July 9, 1868, the insurrection that occasioned it had been thoroughly, and bloodily, suppressed. Throughout the Civil War and afterward, Republicans in Congress had enacted some of the most forward-looking legislation in American history: a national currency, the Homestead Act, a transcontinental railroad, support for higher education, the definitive abolition of slavery—all thanks to the extended absence of delegations from the self-styled Confederate states. Now that era was about to end.
The party of Lincoln, grand but not yet old, feared the mischief that Southern senators and representatives might get up to when their states were readmitted to the Union. The Republicans' foremost worry was that Congress might somehow be induced to cut funds for Union pensioners or pay off lenders who had gambled on a Confederate victory.

Let's face it: we're living in hard economic times. But life is short and we shouldn't let our penny-pinching habits take a toll on our love lives. A good date doesn't have to be elaborate or fancy. What it comes down to is spending time with your special someone and having fun while doing it. We ran some ideas by Ellie Kay, author most recently of, The Sixty Minute Money Workout and came up with eight cheap summer dates that wont break the bank.
Lise Gagne / Istock1. Picnic in the park
We all know that packing a lunch is more economical than eating out. Instead of splurging on a fancy dinner, have wine and cheese night outdoors. Bike over to your local park or botanical garden and find somewhere secluded. Grab a blanket, your favorite wine, some cheese and crackers (and bug spray!) and let the evening end with stargazing.
2. Go on a hike
Infuse romance with exercise and get some fresh air outdoors. Chose a dry day and enjoy the landscape your region has to offer. Hikes give couples the opportunity to challenge and support each other. End the day off by catching a sunset or a moonrise. The Sierra Club has regular national outings you can join. For more ideas, check out The Daily Green's tips for finding a great local hike.
3. Go to the market & cook dinner together
Taste-test all the fresh-picked local foods while exploring unique crafts and knickknacks at your local farmers' market. With all it has to offer, the market is the perfect place to unearth your partner's hobbies, interests, and tastes. It has something for everyone and it's bound to stimulate good conversation. Stock up on fresh produce, wine, and treats. Then, head home to impress your date with your cooking abilities. Find your local farmers' market by plugging in your zip code in the "Get Local Info" widget on The Daily Green's homepage, or by visiting LocalHarvest.org.

4. Night of pampering
Skip the expensive spa and call it a night in. Light some candles, give each other a full body massages, and sleep in the next day. Turn off your cell phones because tonight you can't be bothered. Make de-stressing with your partner a regular activity and you'll have a date night to look forward to all week.
Istock5. Go for ice cream
There's nothing more satisfying than your favorite ice cream on a hot summer day (besides maybe smudging some on your date's nose). Grabbing ice cream is much cheaper than a night out. Plus, it's sweeter. (Get it?) Take your date to an ice cream shop with a nearby park, take a slow stroll, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
6. Plant a tree
Tell your man to grab a shovel. Planting a tree is one of the best things you can do for the environment, whether you live in an urban, suburban or rural area. Visit your local nursery to determine which plant best suits your soil and climate. The tree can be symbolic for a strong relationship, emphasizing the importance of planning for the future and setting down roots. Plus, you'll show him that you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty! For tree-planting tips, visit treehelp.com or arborday.org. If a tree is too big of a project, consider planting an herb garden.

7. Grab a paddle
Summer calls for spending as much time as possible outdoors. Why not enjoy an active day on the water with your partner? If you can, try borrowing a boat from a friend. If not, renting a kayak or canoe is usually cheap at most parks. (Don't forget lifejackets.) The calming silence of the whole experience will unite you with nature, and your man.
Istock8. Go on a date that gets cheaper every time you go
If you buy an annual membership to an art museum, a science center, zoo, or aquarium, you can visit them as often as you like, and every time you do, you get more of your money's worth. Scrap the dinner and movie; surprise your date with a unique experience. If such an investment is not in the cards, browse private art galleries, which are often free, or take advantage of special deals; many museums offer occasional deeply discounted or free nights. Talk about a cheap date!

A list of basic do's and don'ts
Next Topic
Are there resources available to help?
Offering support
How can I be supportive?
Remember that your co-worker may find it hard to ask for help, or to seem weak or vulnerable. Telling a person, "You're so brave" or "You're so strong" can put pressure on them to act strong when they may not feel up to it. Families can put subtle pressure on people with cancer by expecting or needing them to be strong all the time. In that case, you might play an important role for your co-worker. Your co-worker may know you well and trust you enough to confide in you, yet you don't have the emotional attachment and expectations of a family member. This kind of relationship can be a great gift for a person facing cancer.
It's human nature to distance yourself from someone when they become ill. Cancer can force us to look at our own fears about illness, weakness, or death. This may make us reluctant to interact with a co-worker facing cancer. But isolation can be a problem for people with cancer. Make an extra effort to reach out.
When your co-worker returns to work, you might want to welcome them back by leaving something on their desk such as a card, a cookie or muffin, a flower, or some other token to let them know people have missed them. It's certainly appropriate to invite your co-worker out to lunch when they return, either for a celebration, or just for a break from the routine. This may also serve as a signal that you are not uncomfortable around them.
If your co-worker needs medical equipment or money for treatment, you can look into getting something donated or organize a raffle to help raise money. Or you can simply take up a collection to buy something they need that might not be covered by insurance.
Your co-worker may look to you for advice regarding financial worries, work issues, or other concerns. Be honest. Help if you can, but if you feel uncomfortable, say so. There are many places a person can get help and support, and you might suggest that they seek the advice of a professional who is best suited to give that kind of guidance. For more information, please see our document, Financial Guidance for Cancer Survivors and Their Families: How to Find a Financial Professional Sensitive to Cancer Issues.
What are some concrete ways I can help?
Communication is the key. Talk regularly with your co-worker about the best way to manage the workload and illness. You can encourage your colleague to maintain as normal a routine as possible, while protecting yourself from taking on a too-heavy workload by helping. Offer to help your co-worker set realistic expectations about work during the course of this illness. Keep treating them as normally as possible, including regular meetings, memos, and social events. If your colleague isn't up to doing something, let them make the decision to say no.
Ask your colleague what they could use; let them tell you what would be most helpful. Offer to help in specific ways, rather than saying, "Call me if I can help." Here are some ideas:
- Send or prepare a meal. Arrange a schedule of meal delivery.
- Offer to help with child care. Arrange a schedule of day care pickups.
- Give your co-worker a ride to and from treatment appointments.
- Help run errands.
- Donate sick or vacation time.
- Offer to take their phone calls if they are feeling tired and need to rest.
- Offer to do some of their work during absences so work won't pile up.
- Appoint a person at work who can give information about how the person is doing and serve as the contact person for the staff in the workplace, as well as the patient and family.
- Coordinate visits by groups of co-workers, or coordinate sending cards, flowers, or gifts.
- Honor your colleague by making contributions to related charities, organizing blood drives, or making special efforts in their name.
- Offer to do some research on their unanswered cancer questions, or refer them to the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
- If the person agrees, plan a party when treatment is finished, or at anniversary dates. Always check with the person before making party plans, including showing them the list of those to be invited.

Did 'Scandal' jump the shark last night?Friday, November 22nd, 2013
Spoiler alert: If you haven't seen last night's "Scandal," stop reading now.
One of the joys of watching "Scandal" is that it's a crazy, ridiculous, over-the-top dramafest that knows it's being a crazy, ridiculous over-the-top dramafest.
I mean, rigged elections, a murderous president, a presidential assassination plot that took only weeks to solve. Hell, it took us "Dallas" viewers a whole season to find out who shot J.R. We still don't really know who killed JFK.
But, last night, while watching Mama Pope (Khandi Alexander) going all Hannibal Lecter on herself by chewing on her wrists to keep from being shipped off to, as she put it, "some Godforsaken room in some Godforsaken country to spend the rest of my Godforsaken like there" was tough to stomach and thisclose to being a jump the shark moment.
Of all the ways the writers could've had Mama Pope escape Eli's (Joe Morton) clutches, the last thing on that list should've been "bites her own wrists."
And Mama Pope took a healthy chunk out of those wrists. As the grim-faced doctor intoned, most people who do that, pass out after a few bites. Not Mama Pope, who kept chewing and chewing and chewing until she, uh, found an artery. Only a few minutes after that sickening scene, there's Mama Pope and Eli, looking at press clippings of their daughter and reflecting on why they'll never be Mother and Father of the Year.
Apparently, Mama did some bad things in the past. Perhaps Olivia (Kerry Washington) and her mom can talk about it and sing lullabies after mom jumped the doc, injected him with a sleepy-sleep or kill him drug, escaped and showed up on her daughter's doorstep looking like a raving mad woman, which it appears she is.
Can "Scandal" recover from this jump the shark-ish moment? Probably. The show, after all, moves at the speed of light and storylines that happened only a few weeks ago are quickly forgotten because the writers do a great job of moving on to the next, big juicy thing.
Still, having Mama Pope chewing on her wrists as if they were beef tenderloins was a bad — and disgusting — call.
"Scandal" Creator and Boss Lady Shonda Rhimes should know better.

Loved the border crossing.....but was quite scared. Never had armed guards around the bathroom! No worries!
So, what are your impressions of Ka'ana? I did look at their website and noticed how much it has changed since I visited a few years ago. I see they have villas now.
We made the border crossing from BenqueViejo, Belize to Melchor De Mencos, Guatemala. Our guide and driver for the day, Elias Cambranes, simply parked his vehicle in the secure parking area on the Belize side and we all walked through the border control processing booth (leaving Belize behind) and into Guatemala.
Once inside Guatemala, we walked a short distance to where our guide had arranged for a properly licensed and insured van for the drive through Melchor on to Tikal.
There was an armed presence on both sides of the border crossing, but at no time did we experience any concerns or issues....traffic appeared to be moving through without delays.
On our drive to Tikal we passed through a couple of roadside check points, which were manned by national police armed with automatic weapons. There were no problems at these stops, as our guide was properly credentialed and our passports were stamped and in order.
On the return trip from Tikal,we shopped in Melchor at a small bodega to buy a couple of bags of locally grown coffee. Once again, we had no problems, the people were very friendly, sold us the coffee at local prices rather than tourist prices (a savings of about 50%).
We'll make a blog entry about Ka'ana experiences shortly.

Dude, you're going to have to change your name from omegaet to Indiana (something). Police with automatic weapons, border crossings between Third World countries, shopping in border town bodegas! I hung out on the beach and went diving when I was in Belize on my Luxury Link vacation.

Bugs! I can tell you the coast was loaded with bugs when I stayed at Las Terrazas Ambergris Caye resort - Luxury hotel Belize - Las Terrazas Resort
The last time I was in Belize was about 5 years ago and all the archaeological sites we went to that were near the Guatemala border all had many, many armed guards on patrol.
Omegaet- I am curious how was the departure from the airport back to the states - the last time we came through this airport security was pretty lax - I am wondering if it has been beefed up?Roam if you want to, roam around the world...........
Departure security process at BZE? Not an issue when we passed through......very quick and appeared very routine for the personnel in charge.
When passing through Customs upon arrival, I did find it unexpected to be questioned in detail regarding the duffle bag of items we were taking to the http://www.kaanabelize.com/ Pack For A Purpose project.
The agent instructed me to removed 'all' of the items for his inspection.....general curiosity or suspicion....who knows?
During the time consuming and bothersome process, I continually assured him everything was being 'donated' to students in a local school and that I had no intentions of selling any of the items.

Interesting - I am taking a bunch of stuff to Nicaragua for the Pack for a Purpose - mostly school supplies. Hope we do not have a similar problemRoam if you want to, roam around the world...........
denise...could have been one or more reasons I received 'special' treatment by Customs:
1) My physical appearance is possibly suspect.
2) The duffle bag had been secured in bright yellow luggage wrap at MIA to minimize pilferage and therefore made it difficult to open and inspect upon arrival in BZE
3) I neglected to request a letterhead document from PfaP or the school indicating the purpose of the items (I will request a letter in the future when participating again)...might have expedited the inspection.
At the end of the day......no harm - no foul...and the school received their items!- Ω -

Neighborhoods: Bedford - Stuyvesant
Absolutely positively the worst experience ever! Don't do it, please don't do it- to yourself! This workers are grossly inefficient and the president Rich Barrale is as spotty as they come.
This is one of those companies that exclusively uses hidden fees to scam, exploit, and drive up costs. I was charged 1.5 hours (145 per hr.) before the job even begun- this was for them to drive from their company base point (in Brooklyn) to my apartment ( in Harlem), just to start the job. Thus, i was charged was charged 245.00 (plus a 28.00 toll fee)- before the job even begun! (Needless to say this absurd policy wasn't explained or told to me until the job was complete!!). This was only the beginning-
The day began with me having to call the office because one of the workers refused to leave the truck in fear, the truck would receive a ticket if he was not in distance to move it if a cop came along. I quickly assured him that I would have my mother in law keep an eye on the truck so that he could join the other workers inside and begin work. (Again for the high 145 per hr price tag all three workers should contribute to the project).
Once inside the head guy began relentlessly tapping all of our goods and spent approximately 2 hours taping my desk, sofa, and two televisions before I stopped him and explained that he could just provide a basic tape job and move on to other tasks because at this point virtually nothing was complete and two hrs had passed. He got very aggravated by this and stormed out and spoke on his phone until I assured him I needed his effort in getting the job complete. THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY AT ALL.
I decided to take a step back and try to build moral by grabbing some drinks for the crew. When I returned back I noticed all the workers were huddled in the truck. I gave them the drinks and returned upstairs to see the tiny one sized apartment in the same condition I left it in! 3.5 hrs and still barely anything complete! I had to pull the plug on the job and cut my loses telling them to only bring the taped items and those already in the truck just drop off at the destination.
I now have to get new movers to finish the job!! AVOID this company it is pretty obvious this one of those high rated yelp scam companies- where- mother, brother, sister-n-law are used to write phony reviews. Although you can shuffle through a few of these to find others who have equal resentment in in hiring such a terrible company. Called fraud department when they hit my card with crazy fees, etc. I suggest you just steer clear or be prepared to FIGHT CHARGES IN COURT.
After living in the same building for more than 20 years, with flooding and other plumbing problems,and a huge book collection, preparing for a move to another apartment was a huge job. I packed for 3 days, but was still nowhere near ready when the people from All Star Moving and Storage Inc; showed up. They finished the packing in about 2 hours, and moved me efficiently into my new home.
This is the fifth time we`ve used All Star Moving and Storage Inc; and I can`t imagine ever using anyone else. They`re quick, professional and take great care while moving our possessions.
Thank you!
I couldn`t be happier with all the work you did for us, thank you All Star Moving and Storage Inc; for working so fast and professional.
All Star Moving and Storage Inc; have been very friendly, time efficient and helpful. They made the move and the experience incredible. I would highly recommend them and their service.
They were very knowledgeable about techniques to make the move more efficient and safe for our breakables! I would highly recommend their service to anyone that needed to relocate. They were fabulous!
Excellent I just used these guys to help me move furniture prior to my hardwood floors getting refinished. They were punctual, professional and highly competent.
They worked efficiently, quickly, and without hassles. They are friendly, cooperative, and a good team.
Great service! Decided to go with these guys after reading all the glowing city search reviews and they definitely lived up to my expectations.
Excellent responsive and helpful throughout the whole process! Thank you.
